VinceYoung has made a big mistake entering the draft.If he stays in college,he will be best pick for heisman,texas will be #1 and most likely be the #1 pick in the draft.HE also needs to learn how to play under center instead of shotgun.Alex Smith from Utah mostly played in the shotgun spread offense in college and had a horendous rookie season,throwing 10 int's and his first and only td was in the last game which is not exceptable for a first rd draft pick let alone the #1 pick. He should stay at Texas,get payed more $$$$$ and take a year to play under center alot more.No doubt he will be a better QB after next year if he stays.

His stock isn't going to be any higher than it is right now. He's a top 3 pick as it is. If anything staying in school could cost him money if he has a off year.

If he hasn't been playing playing under center this year why would he next year at Texas? Where is he going to gain this experiance under center? Last years QB class was weak compared to this years.

Alex Smith had a horrible rookie season, but look who he was playing for. The Forty-Niners are a mess, and even having Brandon Lloyd as a wide-out isn't going to be enough when that's your ONLY weapon (Barlow isn't that great of an RB for the shape this team is in). In a normal system, Smith would've probably sat the entire year and watched under a veteran.

When Vince Young gets drafted, he will most likely sit an entire year, unless he goes to a team that is in dire straights, like San Francisco. And if that team has even a decent coach, he'll work with Young to make sure he's ready to go the next season. That includes making sure that he's used to taking snaps from under the center (which I think you're making too big of a deal about) and his passing motion (Vince currently throws with what is called a 3/4 sidearm motion, which I think is much more crucial to correcting if he's going to avoid being a bust in the pros).

Besides all of that, with the money he's going to make by going pro, he might as well do it. If he gets hurt, next year, his stock could easily drop considerably. Take the money and run.

How could Vince had made a mistake? This is a great choice for him. If Tennessee drafts him, he gets to backup his idol; Steve McNair, while making millions of dollars sitting on the side line and holding a clip board. That would be a dream job for most people. Get paid to come in if your team sucks, the starter gets hurt, or if it is a blow out. This way, he is learning from McNair and the other coaches in Tennessee, while making money. Something he couldn't do in college. You know how the saying goes. It's the NFL, where they play.....for pay.
